There is no way that arming Taiwan results in Taiwan starting a war of aggression against China.
What arming Taiwan does is make it an increasingly bad idea for China to invade Taiwan. It’s a deterrent to make sure the nuclear power who constantly threatens Taiwan (read: China) doesn’t think they can just go and take what they want without consequence, and probably commit a little genocide on the side.

Defending Taiwan against communist China has been US foreign policy since Harry Truman was in office.
